Summary: This home is in a great and very walkable location in Edinburgh; close to the Royal Mile and the Old Town area. The home is well appointed and very comfortable. One drawback is that it is noisy at night as there are bars in the area. If you sleep with windows open, you will definitely hear lots of people. Other than that, the place is great

Summary: The location is the amazing thing about this property, just off the Royal Mile, and within a few minutes walk of many of the Fringe locations, you feel right in the middle of things. The bedrooms are at the back, so no noise problem at all. I slept in the living room (don't like sharing a double bed with one of my children!) and there was some noise, but it didn't stop me sleeping with the windows closed except when a group of people started having a heated discussion at 5.20am right outside the window! The flat was clean but not spotless. The water pressure is a bit low, so need to wait a bit between flushes. Well-stocked kitchen. Decent wifi, which was important as the data was almost non-existent. Lovely new teal coloured sofas, very nice. Windows a bit stiff (old sash windows with new inner windows). It was certainly not cheap, so the "Economical.." in the title is a bit suspect, but it was worth it to be in the middle of the action. We had a great few days here. Thank you.

Summary: Apartment was very suitable as two bedroom suite, with all necessary ammenities - kitchen, bath, secure access, etc.. Apartment was clean and well appointed. Not accessible, which is not a problem for most, but then again in a city such as Edinburgh, so hilly, accessibility is a challenge whereever you go.

Summary: Apartment was in a great location and very close to the many attractions, dining and gift shops. All you have to do is walk out your front door and you hear the bagpipes. Awesome.

Summary: We walked everywhere but being right on the Royal Mile makes it easy to get around. Didn't need to use any public transportation and had plenty of food and entertainment options. It's a bit of a slog from the train station (especially when it is raining) but quite doable even with luggage. The meet and greet service was a nice touch too but still self checkout made our early AM departure quite easy.

Summary: Expectations were met in size & amenities. Bedrooms quiet in spite of nearby street activities. For one member of group the stairs down into the apartment presented a challenge. Also the rather steep walk up after exit from apartment to Royal Mile was challenging. Though unexpected it was consistent with rest of Edinburgh terrain. Overall experience was excellent.

Summary: Old Town location was perfect.... all the tourist spots nearby, many many restaurants and shops just blocks away. Apartment was exactly as described and very clean, modern, secure, and comfortable. Glenn communicated quickly and effectively during the booking and arrival process and was flexible to our plans. Glenn's representative's prompt greeting and walk through at check in was a plus and he was very helpful and quick with our questions. This is a comfortable, convenient, luxury flat and would definitely repeat our stay.

Summary: Great location. One block off Royal Mile. Easy to get to to both New and Old Town. Unit is comfortable and has everything you need for your stay way from home. Washer and Dryer are extremely slow so give yourself time. Unit is located on a noisy street.

Summary: Ok, the location is incredible, we were so lucky to be close to absolutely everything. In addition, the flat is perfect. Comfortable, clean and with everything we needed. A decent kitchen, a washing machine, good shower and a bath made it easy to feel at home. Communication was excellent too. The apartment made our week long stay at the Edinburgh Festival absolutely perfect.
